Similar to most other multiplayer video games, Dead By Daylight is joining in the celebration of Halloween. The release date and start time countdown for the DBD Haunted By Daylight 2023 event is imminent, and there are lots of exciting features for horror lovers to anticipate. These include everything from brand-new skins to spooky treats and a tricky LTM.

While the annual Halloween event is ready to knock on everyone’s door, the Dead By Daylight community also has Chapter 30 hiding around the corner. BeHaviour Interactive will reveal the mystery licensed killer ‘very soon,’ meanwhile, the Chapter 30 PTB release date is already rumored for early November. It is strictly a paragraph, but the developer has teased that the killer comes from a significantly big license.

The DBD community is driving themselves crazy speculating over the identity of the mystery baddie. We cannot wait for BeHaviour Interactive to pull the curtain aside, but first, we will all be treated to the returning Haunted By Daylight.

DBD Haunted By Daylight 2023 release date

The release date for the Dead By Daylight Halloween event 2023 is October 18th. BeHaviour Interactive confirmed this during their Haunted By Daylight livestream. It will last until November 6th, meaning you have over two weeks of trick-or-treat goodness to enjoy.

Similar to previous years, the Hallows Eve celebration will see ‘Generators and Hooks undergo a spooky transformation’. Items will also get a befitting makeover with ‘the return of the Will O’ Wisp Flashlight, the All Hallows’ Eve Lunchbox Med-Kit , the Blight Serum, and the Arcane Dowsing Rod Bloodpoint Offering’.

But, beyond things simply returning, this year sees the debut of the Void Realm as an explorable playground for the very first time. Survivors will have to repair Halloween Generators, destroy pumpkins, and stun killers carrying Void Energy. On the other hand, Killers will need to hook Survivors and down Survivors carrying the precious Void Energy.

What time does the DBD Haunted By Daylight 2023 event start?

The start time for the DBD Haunted By Daylight Halloween event 2023 is 11 am PT, 2 pm ET, and 7 pm BST. It will finish at the exact same hours on November 6th.
